I have a tie for big bands this year...The View has another album coming out and I personally feel they are going to blow the Fratellis out of the water again this year. Also I don't know if she will put out another album this year but St. Vincent is my pick for the best up and coming artist at the moment

view will blow the fratellis again? im sorry but the fratellis were "surfing the water" and the view pretty much "rowed the boat"

posh The View was able to produce a far more interesting album with a lower budget than the Fratellis. On top of that songs like comin down, and superstar tradesman were just stellar. That defense being made after some dialogue on the matter I have been made aware that there should be a new St. Vincent album next year. That is now is second to or possibly on par with the next Morrissey album in terms of excitement for me

My favs are (musically, I don't like the lyrics): Claudia, Wasted Little DJs

Jo Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, Vampire Weekend, Black Kids, Ting Tings. I would have said The Cribs and Reverend and the Makers but they both made it big last year I guess. Outside chances are The Social and These New Puritans.
